regardless of what this uneducated woman is telling you, YOU CAN NOT REVERSE PCOS! you can lessen symptoms by losing weight but you will ALWAY have pcos. it just doesn’t work the way this lady wants you to believe.
To be diagnosed with PCOS you have to have two out of the three main symptoms. All three can be reversed entirely, in turn reversing a PCOS diagnosis. I work with and hear from women nearly every day who were able to reverse their PCOS using the methods I outlined 🙏 Read through some of these comments. FYI I am a certified nutrition coach through Precision Nutrition (university accredited), certified health coach through PHCI and completing my undergraduate degree in nutrition and exercise. I also work with dietitan's and doctors who agree with me that PCOS can be reversed. You might find Dr. Seeman's channel and podcast helpful: ua-cam.com/video/DG9IMMVyf_0/v-deo.html She is a board certified obstetrician-gynecologist who reversed her own PCOS. All the best on your journey to health!
why do you say it cant be cured? where is your proof? if you can cure are cyst on the skin you can cure them in your body. people get cysts in their lungs, liver, etc. and are able to clear them out
@@Highwizardd dear incredibly unknowledgeable ignorant person. as a person with pcos whom is also studying to become and obgyn and has specifically done profound amounts of research on pcos, YOU CAN NOT CURE IT. the symptoms can be lessened and made to be nearly nonexistent with weight loss, the disease itself will never go away. one of the first things they tell you when you receive a diagnosis is that it is incurable.
@@shimeyshimeycocopuff stop being rude, that's not cool at all. It can be reversed like so many other things can as well. It doesn't matter if you believe that or not. I'm trying to figure out why you are hostile and rude. Uncalled for.
It's true. By just eating more healthier, less carbs, less sugar and IF I was able to reverse pcos. I went from having no periods for 1.5 year to having it almost every month now. I try not to eat cold temp things and drink ginger water often. Losing weight, if overweight, helps too. I weight train as well. I told my doctor I wanted to lose it more naturally by losing weight. She told me not to put all my eggs in one basket. But I didn't want to take medication. So I stuck to it and slowly but surely my periods became more regular. I also follow some remedies from my culture like drinking certain soups with certain herbs and not eating certain foods. So don't give up and don't stress too much about it.
@@misssamar7808 in my culture, it's common knowledge to not drink or eat cold temperature food and drinks during menstruation +few days after menstruation ends. Cold stuff includes salads. We have a thing called "lerng" which includes celery, watercress, cucumbers, watermelon etc that are to avoid. Dates and goji berries are good to drink after menstruation. Hot Ginger water to drink daily in the morning. Eat less processed food. My mom makes me these Chinese herbal soup with chicken. Tastes yummy. You can buy a black chicken and boil it. Just UA-cam some Chinese black chicken soup recipes. There should be tones
Before I was officially diagnosed with PCOS I gained so much weight, had missed periods or excruciating periods to the point where I couldn't even move out of bed for days, constant fatigue, you name it. My husband did some research on it and predicted I had PCOS, and then I had a doctor confirm that's what I had. I had tried a vegan diet and weight lifting. I went from 240 lbs down to about 230 lbs and that's where I stayed. Then we researched keto. We practically eliminated 98% of all carbs and increased our fat (primary fat came from olive, avocado, and coconut oil as well as Greek yogurt and some butter in moderation) and vegetable intake with continuous excersise (cardio and weight lifting). At first I didn't see the physical change, but I did FEEL it within the first month. Energy, motivated, alert, happier. Then the weight started to melt and my periods began to regulate without birth control. My hair started to thicken again and I didn't see as much facial hair. The painful periods were fewer and fewer. I essentially went from 235 lbs down to 194 lbs. It was amazing! So I believe PCOS can actually be reversed with lifestyle changes! So glad you posted this video!
Hi Mushi ~ I have been strength training for awhile about 8 weeks and the scale went up though I could feel a change - posture improved. Felt stronger in my back- which weirdly makes me walk with more confidence as I feel stronger. But- I gained almost 5 pounds- The machine they use at the gym said it was 3 pounds of muscle Other two probably water. So I keep going because I feel better- my weight finally today went back down to the weight I started the gym at. I have 3 weeks left at the gym and plan on still doing strength training at home. How long or what was the transformation like when you finally start loosing weight. I hope you answer because I see many weight loss success stories though few with PCOS and even fewer who have had hairloss. And am encouraged to see your hair improved also.
@@ride_with_me Hi! I'm so glad you touched base with me! Core workouts are crucial for posture and overall strength. It includes your back, legs, and torso. You strengthen the muscles in your back, you walk more upright an alleviate a lot of pain from your lower back. It's amazing! So the first time I started with the keto and the weight training I gained weight instead of losing it, which was so discouraging. But my husband told me it was normal because muscle weighs more than fat. Because you're gaining muscle, your weight will increase slightly (me it was something like 7lbs in 2 darn weeks. I was so sad!) However I did physically see a difference. I saw it in my waist and in my face (oddly enough that's the first place I lose it). My clothes were starting to loosen up a bit. After about a month is when I started to see the weight drop on the scale, and I physically started to see it on my legs, arms, belly, face, and back. As I continued, I started to have more energy, more motivated, less pain on my joints, clearer skin, better breath (I say that very seriously. No matter how many times I brushed my teeth my breath would be awful. I had dry mouth as another side effect of the PCOS. Eating healthier and dropping the weight helped A LOT) stronger hair and nails, less facial hair, and way less painful periods. It was amazing. So you're on the right track. Keep strength training and eating the right portions. My weightloss journey took about a year ( a few months less than a year) and it was tough but VERY doable. You got this! Once you drop the weight you'll feel so different and amazing! Also be sure to watch your diet, like portioning and what not. It plays a big role in what your body uses to burn for fuel. And don't starve yourself either. That was my first mistake. lol. If you have any other questions or whatnot please feel free to ask me. I'd love to help! Keep rockin' it!
My wife has pcos and she is following your advice..she has lost weight and loving it. i know we shall get our desire results and conceive our children....many thanks.
I have PCOS. I've been on a low carb diet for 4 months going more towards 20g of carbs or some days only meat. My stomach is flat and not bloated for the first time in 25 years😊
The fat soluble vitamins in animal fat are important for fertility. I know quite a few ex-vegans who had irregular periods until they started eating animal foods again.
I think it’s connected to sugar/carbs. I know somebody who was told she was infertile due to PCOS - she tried IVF twice. Many years later she and her husband discovered Keto and did it for one month or so with the simple of goal of losing some body fat. Within a couple of months, to her amazement, she was pregnant
As a physical therapist who has gone WAY down the research rabbit hole, I can confidently verify every idea she shared here. Insulin Resistance/Hyperinsulinemia is actually also responsible for most fibromyalgia, heart attacks and strokes, fatty liver disease, vascular dementia, infertility, peripheral nerve pain and damage, tinnitus & hearing loss, macular degeneration! There's your killer, developed countries! The root cause is right in front of us
@@souslarmure yes it's fascinating! Also common is micronutrient deficiencies... Your nerves need many minerals from healthy food like Mg, VitD from ☀️, b vitamins, etc
Please listen to your doctor, PCOS cannot be cured. Yes you can manage the symptoms through lifestyle and diet, but as soon as you drop the ball, they will come back.
I have tried every single thing you've discussed, and I can confirm, you are right. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 16. I used to weigh 350 lbs. I am currently about 220. I've had two beautiful babies. All of these tips were spot on. Great video.
PCOS is not always accompanied by insulin resistance. I have intuitively consumed low carbohydrates almost all my life, I have a low body mass index and have been repeatedly laboratory confirmed to lack insulin resistance, and yet I have lived with PCOS all my life. and I forgot to say - I maintain a sufficient level of physical activity. You give the right advice for most, but not for all. For those who, like me, already lead a healthy lifestyle, your video can only be demotivating. And nothing will cancel the fact that other girls can enjoy chips and soda while lying on the couch and not have consequences in the form of acne, irregular periods, etc. and with PCOS, all these good habits can only remove the symptoms. These tips are still good for maintaining overall health, but they are not a cure for PCOS at all.
Did you get your insulin tested or just your blood sugar. Look into the foods you're eating and products you're using. You might have to be gluten and/or dairy free also. What is a sufficient amount of physical activity? Try resistance training and walking more. There's always room for improvement with diet and exercise. Also intermittent fasting.
You also could be missing enzymes that convert myo-inosotol into DCI. Look it up it is all related. Also skinny people can get insulin resistance. Make sure you research the sub clinical levels. I notice the levels from Labcorp and from doctors can vary. It was the same way with my sister finally getting diagnosed with Hashimoto's. It isn't the general test for thyroid she had to take and they had to catch it when it was low. These tests aren't always super accurate because the body is always changing states. NOTHING about this video is demotivating. Keep researching.
As someone who struggled with PCOS before, doing keto diet and exercise helped us conceive our #2 baby. Now trying to conceive our #3, through Low carb and Fasting again. Lol Definitely takes discipline. It’s worth it Ladies❤️!!
I was diagnosed with pcos at 17, suffered endless rupturing cysts and scarring on my uterus through my early 20s. Then in my mid 20s I began intermittent fasting due to my work schedule without realizing that’s what it was called, and ended up losing weight and getting blessed with a surprise but very welcome pregnancy at 25. My kiddo is 4 now and I have been experiencing pcos symptoms again for the last year and a half. I’m back to intermittent fasting and keto and so happy to have found this channel! I hardly comment on UA-cam videos but I felt called to share this here! Thanks!
thanks for sharing your experience ❤ I’m currently 17 and so far has symptoms ig but I haven’t been fully diagnosed ( also working on getting a new doc ) But I wanted to know how do you recommend me going abt fasting if you don’t mind , hope all is well & have a amazing day❤
This is the best video that I’ve seen for PCOS. Very evidence based. Lots of other people encourage a gluten and dairy free diet without having any scientific evidence.
Excellent information. I'm 66 and still trying to get diagnosed. But I believe PCOS is it. Youthful years spent with irregular periods, infertility, hypothyroidism (led to a thyroidectomy) and adult acne. Post menopausal years spent with high testosterone levels, high bp, type II diabetes, male pattern baldness, acne, alternating constipation/diarrhea, heavy body hair growth, all of the named symptoms. I've noticed a lot of women in my age group with male pattern baldness which affects our self esteem tremendously. Thank you for sharing this information. I plan to change my diet and eating habits right away.
This video is life changing! I’ve noticed fasting has helped me incredibly! I’ve been diagnosed with PCOS for nearly 20 years. Thank you for your work! I will be sharing your video! Now to learn how to fast with my menstrual cycle for the best nutritional support!
I was diagnosed with PCOS. I was put on contraceptives, which helped regulate my period but the side effects were terrible so decided to get off them. I started following a Keto diet and I now get regular periods and able been able to lose my belly fat.
Birth control can actually mask the issue, too. It causes you to bleed monthly even if you are not ovulating. I didn't realise I was having hormonal issues until I got off birth control and realised I had lost my period 😥
I used to have EXCRUCIATING periods to the point I would have to call in sick to school/work at least one day. Also, extremely heavy. Birth control helped a bit, but when I got off and got my period back increasing my iron and iodine especially were a game changer. Now I have no cramps and my period is lighter and shorter 🙏
Thanks for sharing, recently got diagnosed and the doctor just suggested a different contraceptive to the one I'm on. In the back of my mind I knew that couldn't be the only solution.
Took birth control pills for 5 years and just felt sick the entire time. I also gained more weight and have these dark skin in my armpits and nape. I decided to stop taking it, researched and started exercising and decreasing my carb intake. I've never felt so much better! It's been months since my period came back regularly without the use of synthetic meds. Lifestyle change is definitely the best decision I've ever made!
I think it's some birth control pills that give u pcos because my Lil niece was on birth control then she had cysts grown in her ovary but they removed it then she got pregnant 2 times as soon as she got back on birth control 6 months after she had eggs that didn't mature and turned in to a cysts again but that's just me idk
@@strozierchristieyep, that one is called Post Pill PCOS! There are 3 other types. Insulin Resistance PCOS, Adrenal PCOS and Chronic Inflammation PCOS.
Birth control stopped working for me, was fine for a couple of years then period just stopped while I was still on it. They couldn't find any medication that worked in actually triggering a period. Doctors solution? Just keep going on the pill 😲. Honestly after 1000s of moneys spent on doctors to get that as a solution was traumatic, I still have trouble trusting doctors.
I have officially reversed my PCOS💛 so it is possible, is it hard ? Absolutely . I went low/ no carb . Working out , drinking apple cider vinegar every single day with water( 2 cap full of it in my water 8oz bottle and the apple cider vinegar has to say “ with the mother “ on it ) in 4-5 months i started getting my periods normally again . So it’s possible ladies just a little time at first but its so worth it 💛 Good luck and GODBLESS you all
I wish you were around 20 years ago when I was first diagnosed LOL. I can tell you that without a doubt the intermittent fasting and a lower carb diet has done wonders for me! I feel like I have a new lease on life!! ❤️❤️❤️
I have PCOS and was diagnosed in the 90's the doctor wasn't helpful I wish there was all of this great info out there back then I now have type 2 diabetes I was on metformin it didn't agree with me at all the doctor & nutritionist kept telling me we'll teach you how to manage & high carb foods were fine I went low carb lost over 40lb I try to stay 5-10 carbs or less a day
Pcos is not the end of life.there is a permanent cure for pcos without any side effects contact dr adule for your permanent cure Dr adule on UA-cam.dr adule on HPV.fibrods. shingles.als.inflammation.etc.
Thanks for spreading awareness about this! So many women with PCOS think birth control is the only option because nobody tells them otherwise. My OBGYN never even mentioned to me that I was insulin resistant, she just said birth control would control my PCOS. I went on years eating a standard american high carb diet while taking birth control feeling horrible. It wasn't until I saw another doctor for a different reason that mentioned the benefits of reducing carbs and IF for PCOS. I've been doing low carb & IF for a couple months and I truly feel SOOO much better and I've lost 20 pounds.
What helped me to incorporate in my daily life was black seed oil and sea moss complex. Blackseed oil contains 101 benefits and sea moss complex has 102 minerals.
Spearmint tea has anti androgen properties as well. Peppermint tea does too but to a lesser degree as the peppermint plant is a cross of Spearmint and Watermint
Extremely helpful! Been trying to study up on PCOS, because my girlfriend was diagnosed bc with it, and this has been the best video I’ve seen! Many of the other videos on this topic are so confusing due to the medical language and terminology, but you broke it down so well and made it very understandable for someone who has no idea what PCOS is. Thank you for what you’re doing and keep up the good work!
1. Keep Insulin levels low follow a low carb diet ketogenic diet Eat less than 45% calories Increase dietary Whole Foods 2. Eat carbs last 3.build muscle /exercise more muscles means the body can store more glucose. Resistance training is more effective than cardio .yield results on insulin resistance 4. Eat More salt ! 5. Stop snacking !!!! Eating more often is doing more harm than good !!!! We want to reverse insulin resistance . Constant eating intermediate fasting. Skip snacks through out the day .
I have PCOS. 11 years ago I made the decision to swear off BC. I am 39 years old best decision ever!! I quickly learned everything the dr says, is not always working in my favor. From then on I did my research as I didn't want drugs or depression to plague my life unecessarily. I have two kids. Before I got pregnant I got a hormone panel done and saw where I stood. I figured out what excerises worked for my body. This journey is filled with learning curves everyday when it comes to eating. I appreciate how this video highlights the basics. Snacking and sugar are my enemies but everyday I develop a little more self control to the point where it doesn't phase me when I can walk by my cupboard and not pick up snacks. Some days are harder tho. To know that I can listen to my body when I am not hungry and not pig out just because is something so awesome and I have come far. Although I have ways to go with getting my sleeping on point, I am in it for the long haul to prevent long term consequences. This video motivated me that much more to support my body so PCOS can be history. How do you know when it's history though? Your hormone panel comes back regulated after X amount of tests?
I have had PCOS for 21 year years now it has not been fun. Started keto and intermittent fasting last year. Honestly keto felt like too much work. But this time I have decided to try carnivore just to avoid the temptation of having plant foods and see what happens. Been doing so much research so I get it right and avoid causing myself myself and harm. I have stopped deluding myself it will happen or completely reverse within 6months to a year. Am giving myself at least two years to see progress.and currently taking Metformin. It's amazing how my doctor and gynecologists have very little knowledge about PCOS.
After a life time of diagnosed with PCOS I got cured with the help of Dr imenherbal on UA-cam channel and till now I'm free from PCOS . ua-cam.com/channels/1PVLGWeT3a6Cto-kOD9IfQ.html
I mean, everything in a human body is connected and doctors of the past were called healers because they had wholistic approach to body givings herbs not processed pills. Also, humans lifestyle was different.
Lifestyle changes is the only thing that can help you... All the little choices you take like eating a chocolate, spicy food, tea, etc etc. everyday...those choices lead us to PCOD. Be strong! Be Fit! And stay healthy! Sending love if you feel bad , it's ok you'll overcome it if you work hard ♥️🫂
I have reversed the endometriosis, PCOS, and fibroids (that are genetic in my family) twice with traditional Chinese medicine. It came back because I went through extraordinary stress in my personal life. I am currently following many tips in this video (but also taking inositol) to reverse it again. So far, it’s working slowly. Thanks for this video!
@@cynthiagonzalez4967 I go to a TCM doctor every week and he gives me a mix of herbs for one week. So the formula changes ever week. I am not entirely sure what he gives me! But it works. And I get accupuncture every week with electrodes on the needles that go into my belly, just underneath my bellybutton.
I was on birth control for a while but I got extremely depressed. Got off them and was eating high carb for awhile and working out but still not losing weight. 6 months ago I stopped drinking alcohol and started eating a high protein low carb diet and the weight melted off. It was amazing. I no longer feel bloated, my period is more regular, and my stomach pain is gone. PCOS has been a burden all my life, but diet has been key.💙 I’m vegetarian so I eat a lot of veggies, nuts, Greek yogurt, tofu, grains, and occasionally eat something bad, but it really works out for me
Hi Kait. Thank you! This has helped me think all hope is not lost with my PCOS. I’m not looking to get pregnant but I know a part of the problem is that I have obesity. I have most of the symptoms including sleep apnea. Unfortunately, I feel all of this is connected and with some lifestyle changes, it might help. I do love carbs so I’m going to try to eat less before I decide to let it all go. I’m also trying to follow your guidelines and hopefully my PCOS might be gone. I am very frustrated in having this condition so hopefully these changes will make me feel better in the long run.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I was just diagnosed and have been feeling hopeless, depressed, and just ...ugly I've been looking online for hours on how to naturally reverse or help the symptoms. Thank god I came across your video!!! I'm definitely taking your advice and hopefully I can reverse this horrible illness!!
tip 5 is verryyy true! The biggest changes I've seen was combining intermitted fasting with a dairy free keto type meal plan... I was just unable to stick to it for than a month due to eating disorders and my mind set that became unsteady.
Oh my gosh thank you so much for this video ❤️ I found out I have PCOS a year ago and I’m now pregnant with my first child. I got instant anxiety when I heard that you’re 3x more likely to miscarry if you have PCOS. Really glad to know that it can be managed 🥰🙏🏼
The link between the PUFA and insulin resistance isn't as clear as the link between high carbs/sugar and insulin resistance. I don't deny it plays a part, but it hasn't been studies very much.
This is the best video I’ve listened to about how to reverse PCOS at least for my personality type it was very clear and well explained and I feel more motivated to lower my carbs and sugar intake.
Never been diagnosed but have had all the symptoms, infrequent periods, infertility, very hairy, frequent yeast infections and male pattern balding. Keto has helped me tremendously!
Thanks for the fantastic video Kait. I really think more awareness about Insulin Resistance and a Keto lifestyle can revolutionize how we approach this dreadful condition and the metabolic diseases that come with it. I didn't know I had PCOS until it had already caused me a lot of damage and health problems with weight gain at adolescence and depression (I would love to see a video on IR and depression). I was a cross country runner when I was younger and I never ate any more than anyone else (actually less) but I could never lose weight. Even until recently, I used to swim 3500metres 4-5x a week but I lost no weight, had irregular periods and my hair just continued to get thinner and thinner . Since starting keto a few weeks ago, I haven't slayed the pounds yet but I have lost weight for the first time past my set point and I had two consecutive monthly periods since I cannot remember when! I feel hopeful about making positive health changes and really adapting this as my new lifestyle. I look forward to all the new changes coming my way physically and mentally. I so need to work on sleep though! I really hope women, especially young girls, who see such drastic changes prior to puberty or alongside with it recognize these changes as a major hormonal imbalance resulting from PCOS and not due to personal failure or not exercising enough. There really needs to be more awareness on this and I think IR is the key to understanding childhood obesity. Keep doing what you are doing. It is brilliant work and much needed. I wish you continued success. P.S. You are such a beautiful young lady and totally remind me of Deb from Dexter :)
Yep, in my personal experience, this is totally true. Three years ago, I actually watched what I ate, lost some weight, and got pregnant. My other pcos symptoms also lessened. After having my son, I stopped caring as much and gained weight, and my symptoms returned. So yeah, you can totally “reverse” your symptoms and get better, just like you can later “reverse” them again to become worse. I think it works both ways! 🤷🏻♀️
I diagnosed with pcos way back 2019, i am 22 yrs old and i am thin only 47kg, my partner didnt know i have pcos he will surely leave me if he finds out and i love him so much. I dont want to lose him. I know some will tell “he’s not inlove with you if he just gonna leave you because of your pcos” but some people want kids. I want kids too. And my partner also want kids. We are just poor. We cant afford to eat healthier foods and my parents also dont have support for me. I am alone battling my pcos. God knows how much i am hurting. I really want to have kids.
Hey, I understand how you feel, but honey if your partner isn't someone who can't support you through turmoil ..then he's not the one , live for yourself not for a guy or having kids for him
Can you access a piece of meat and butter a day? That alone, with some water and salt will sustain you....and more than likely reverse your pcos quickly. Don't cost much at all.
I went paleo and drank spearmint tea every day for 2 years. I went to my gynaecologist to get a scan done, and she told me if she didn’t know anything before, she would have told me I don’t have PCOS as no cysts were showing up!! I still have the symptoms, hair on face etc, weight gain/belly , anxiety, but my period is on time and so regular now I’m not tying to get pregnant, but she told me I looked healthy enough on the scan. So yes, low carb diet, low sugar, low dairy, diet does make a difference, also slat. And drinking spearmint tea every day will make a huge difference. I just wish the hair and skin tags would go away on its own.
Got fully diagnosed yesterday after my ultrasound showed way more cysts then I could have ever imagined. I told my Dr. I wanted to do everything as natural as possible and all she told me was to loose weight and maybe that would help get my cycles back. I'm barely doing my research in what is PCOS and different diets and this video definitely put my mind at ease that there's hope to reversing this.
It only clicked for me in the last month that low carb/keto is the only true way to help heal PCOS which I’ve been battling for 18 years! Wish I’d knew this info then, great video
Wow we must be on the same wavelength or something, I was literally thinking about asking you to do a video about PCOS this morning (I have PCOS) and then you uploaded one! Haven't watched yet but I'm sure it will be good info! I have PCOS and have lost 90 pounds and seen a reversal in all of my symptoms and got off Metformin! I haven't completely reversed my IR just yet but I'm almost there!
@@lindsaymiguel8258 Thanks! I used a combination of alternate day fasting and keto/LCHF. Some weeks I’m keto and some weeks I’m more just low carb (50g of carbs). I’ve also alternated weeks where I’ve done carnivore plus 20:4 or OMAD. I honestly get the best results when I do carnivore, it’s just hard for me to stick with all the time so I switch it up a lot.
@@pokefan5ever I can TOTALLY understand what you’re saying... OMAD and Carnivore is my sweet spot. It’s so weird how we know it’s best for us but still so hard to do... For me, I get strong cravings for nuts and then it’s hard to get back on it... Would you say Alternate day fasting was just as affective or more so than OMAD for you? Thank you so much for your time, I’m still trying to figure it all out...
Have her see doctors now! Pcos is more than just something that makes it hard to get pregnant! Also don't trust any doctor who tells you to just put her on the pill. A doctor told me 20 years ago that I could always get pregnant easily with pcos just by taking fertility medication. 3 miscarriages later I'm so mad I didn't get a second opinion when I was younger. Bioidentical progesterone which you can buy at a health store always helped me get my period back easily.
As someone with PCOS who is unsuccessfully trying to get pregnant since December, this video is a blessing! Confirming insuline resistance in April, I’ve started following low IG diet and implemented regular exercise. I’ve been also taking inositols. I’ve noticed a huge improvement already, but I’m always eager to learn more!
This is true. From Philippines here. My supervisor was very fat back then and cant bear a child due to picos. So she try disciplined her self in the food she intake. As what she told me, she avoid carbohydrates, all dairy foods like milk to cheese, fatty food, food with too much oil and sugar. She also did fasting and walking every Saturday. She mentioned that people with picos have a hard time reduce weight, like her. And she doesn't want to go to gym and exercise because it will make tired and sleepy. So for alternative she avoided foods that can make her body fat. Now she has 3 kids.
I was until I started birth control at 19… I know birth control can help relieve PCOS symptoms as well, but I wasn’t diagnosed then and absolutely blew up and suddenly had so many PCOS symptoms. You may want to cut out gluten and see how you feel. It made a huge difference for my body, and mental health. Your body may not be absorbing enough nutrients. I ate so many pastas/breads prior to birth control and was underweight and had an irregular period.
@@jovanieastudillo4023sounds like me but I don’t have extra hair. I’ve always had a very well balanced diet and have always exercised but still have PCOS and can’t seem to ovulate so I can at least try and get pregnant
I'm so overwhelmed, but inspired by this. I've only just found out that I have high blood sugar, and on day one of trying to figure out what's going on, I keep finding the huge link between PCOS and insulin resistance ... how did I not know about this before??? I've been through IVF because of my PCOS and nobody ever mentioned this to me!! No point looking back, but I'm really so pleased and relieved to learn this now and hopefully soon see an in improvement in all my symptoms. Thank you xx
It's so frustrating that the connection isn't mentioned more... The reason metformin is so effective for PCOS (reduces symptoms in 90% of women) is because it improves insulin sensitivity!
Yes PCOS IS REVERSABLE! There is hope ! , its been more than 10 yrs of me fighting pcos before i did low carb and intermittent fasting and was so surprised i was able to reversed it! Change of lifestyle can really help so much plus believe that you can! , thanks much Coach Kait all the love from SHAE JELLA channel ,
I’m really excited about trying out all of these tips especially the one about salt and the one about not snacking. This was super interesting and hopefully super helpful.
I can personally attest to this. I started my period very early (9 years old. For the first two years it was somewhat irregular and then at 11 it stopped. For 5 years, doctors were no help, didn’t want to deal with me bc of my age, finally when I was 15-16 they threw some progesterone pills at me and told me to lose weight with no real guidance. After years of doing a ton of research and finally growing up and buying my own food and being able to experiment with my diet, I slowly got my periods back and when I went fully carnivore, I IMMEDIATELY had a 28 DAY CYCLE. Which had never happened before, I was always 5-8 weeks even when it came back. Even when I’ve been eating carbs and not on track, I have figured out that if I drop my carbs back down to nearly nothing for seven days I can get my period back within that week.
@@patthanboy444 I have heard of people going full on non-animal everything. Isn't it hard to only eat things that come from animals? What about fruits and veggies?🤔
@@patthanboy444 I love eggs 😍....and meat too. I can barely go a day without eggs. It's also the first thing I learned to cook when I was 8. You probably don't care about that little fact about myself. 😄😀
I had no idea I had PCOS. In fact my ultrasounds of my ovaries were always normal. When I removed my IUD I had painful late periods, but I got pregnant 🤷♀️ after my baby I had an ultrasound and saw the cysts on my ovaries, it scared the hell out of me. I did gain quite a bit of weight during pregnancy when I used to be low carb/high healthy fats. Ughh
WOW! THIS INFO WAS GREAT AND HAD MY TOTAL FOCUS FROM BEGINNING TO THE END. NOT MANY THINGS CAN DO THAT TO ME.I AM SO GLAD THAT I CAME ACROSS THIS...NEWLY SUBSCRIBED!
I am so glad I ran into this channel I have not been diagnosed but I have all the symptoms. 😢 I am 36 and have no kids and just breaks my heart that I am getting older with no kids willing to try anything ❤thank you
I have pcos and didn’t have a period for 2 years, had acne, and extra body hair. I went keto, lost 61 lbs, and have now had 3 normal periods! I never thought I would be so happy to bleed lol. I’m still on my keto journey but this is a lifestyle now. I do high fat/low carb which is exactly what female hormones need
I know exactly how you feel, I used to get extremely painful periods and then they stopped altogether in my 20s. I cleaned up health and it came back and then I got pregnant. I will never hate getting a period, no matter how painful, ever again.
Way to go, Lily! Be sure to strength train too 💪😎 even just starting out with practicing some squats and gentle pushups on all 4s in your soft bed is a start! You could even fill a couple gallon jugs part way with tap water & curl+ press them!
Salt has been wrongly demonized! There is only a small % of people who are "salt sensitive" and see a change in their blood pressure when they eat more or less salt.
@@HealthCoachKait I'm glad I found your Channel. I will definitely incorporate salt in my diet. It's depressing for me at some point, no changes in my health.
I've struggled with overweight/obesity since I was a child and could never lose weight. My periods were very regular and otherwise I've been healthy. A couple of months ago I missed a period and went to my doctor to check and she told me "I am the type pcos likes" and that I was fat because of pcos and not the other way around. I was relieved for a minute because "well, I can't do anything about it so I might as well continue eating unhealthily" but soon that turned to let down and anger and I was ecstatic to hear it IS reversible and now I’m trying keto diet and going to the gym after the adjustment period to avoid stressing my body too much at once. Thank you Kait for your great work
Glad I found this video! Im doing calorie counting right now because I wanted a break from keto but I can tell I need start back lowering my carb intake again. It makes me sad, but I can agree that I always felt my best when my carbs were lower. This time im going to try Low carb instead of keto. Keto was hard for me to do long term. Loved your video! Great information!
In my country and culture, sources of carbs like potatoes and grains have been very important for ages, it had started long before processed foods and fast food meals became available and popular. The cultural importance of bread here is huge, there are poems about bread and older generations used to teach all children that you shouldn't waste any crumble or let it rot, or put it in a garbage bin because bread is a symbol of Christ and the holy Eucharist. My nation consumes loads of dumplings, pasta, jam, pancakes, and beer. We celebrate anything and everything with cake. Meat is almost always served with potatoes (or rice). There are many types of soup served with pieces of pasta, bread crumbles or rice in it. This is why I can understand that keto diet is just too much because you would cause yourself or others massive trouble on any occasion like family gathering or even eating out with anyone, honestly. This is why I decided, wanting to live normally with friends and family, that I will try as hard as I can to keep any food that I prepare low GI so that I can have a cheat evening with a mainstream meal from time to time and it won't ruin anything because the next day I'm back to my now-normal low GI diet. Seems to work for now, combined with some exercise.
I just want to say thank you for posting this video. I was diagnosed back in October of last year and have been extremely worried about managing my weight and symptoms. Now that I know how to do it I can start implementing this into my life to help!
Great video. Nowadays doctors just want to push you with medication and to just get on with it. I have pcos and lately been doing keto diet. Still Tring to get to grips with what to eat in a keto. But I was told that I would have to eat every 3 hours which didn't really help me a lot. So I started doing intermittent fasting. I think I have been making progress for sure with the help of some natural supplements too. 😊 I do find it hard sometimes I crave foods 😂😂 like cinnamon rolls (it's my guilty pleasure).
I've been struggling with PCOS symptoms since I was 16 but wasn't formally diagnosed until about a year ago...when I was 28. I've had two kids which was a serious struggle in conceiving. Since then my hormones have gotten worse and recently I have put on so much weight I can't bare to look at myself in the mirror. I was 145 all throughout HS and am now at 230 lbs. The highest I have EVER been. Even through pregnancies. I just started intermittent fasting and I think I'm going to try keto light as well. Thank you so much for all this information. It really helps.
Please be sure you include daily exercise too. It's not possible for any human to be metabolically healthy with only good eating habits and poor muscle strength/health
THANK YOU your videos cover a lot of information in such a straightforward way! I have IBD, ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, hormone imbalance, ADD, arthritis...etc...and I've tried Keto before but it was too much - sometimes with ME/CFS keto doesn't work as well as it does for others but combining your tips with the Auto Immune Protocol diet for lowering carbs in a way that still helps reduce insulin is really helpful for me, so thank you!
I’ve always had issues gaining weight. I think it has been due to my bad diet. When I quit exercising and had a very stressful lifestyle, I started having more hair. I always wanted to find out what it was and recently got diagnosed with PCOS. Thank you for this video! I will start with changing my diet and going to the gym regularly. Hopefully it will help my PCOS get reversed!
I've been to at least 8 different OB Gyne and they gave me the same pill over and over. It made me menstruate, yes but I also gained weight, had mood swings and my skin folds remained dark. Fast forward to 2020 when I decided to stop taking the pill and made some lifestyle changes. It did work for me. Until now, my period became regular, and those previously mentioned symptoms were gone. I may have PCOS still but managed it.
Thank you once again for another informative video. I so wish I was informed about all this when I was trying to loose weight when I was trying for a baby. I may have succeeded 🥺 All my doctors ever told me was I was fat because I ate too much 😢 when I was constantly on a diet and reduced my intake of calories so much, I now understand had a reversal affect on me 😢 Following your advice I have reduced my carbs intake along side the 16/8 IF and have lost almost 2 stone 🙏🏻
Wow.. I have had PCOS since I was 16 and I am 38 and have always been told that will always have it. I t makes sense when I stopped eating bread and potatoes and pasta that I finally l lost weight. It makes sense that when I started eating them again I gained so much weight back! This makes a lot of sense and I can’t wait to try it.
All the best on your health journey Trisha! I know a lot of women with PCOS who have reversed it and it is such a shame that most are not told this is possible...
@@HealthCoachKait absolutely! I am so excited to start my keto journey! I have been told my whole adult like that insulin resistance was a side effect of my PCOS and being overweight is just the way it is.
Have you heard of treating some pcos symptoms with collagen? I started drinking collagen every day about a month ago, more for the skin benefits than anything. Surprisingly though my last period was way lighter than what I'm used to and was much more manageable. (Mine are usually extremely heavy and long) Also, another tip is taking vitamin d.
Hm I haven't heard of collagen treating PCOS, but I do believe collagen is beneficial for a lot of reasons! It could be you were possibly just low in protein as well.
Courtney when I started taking vitamin D it lengthened my period by one day, which for me was good as I’ve always had short/light periods or would skip months altogether. This was a sign of more estrogen.
After a life time of diagnosed with PCOS I got cured with the help of Dr imenherbal on UA-cam channel and till now I'm free from PCOS . ua-cam.com/channels/1PVLGWeT3a6Cto-kOD9IfQ.html.....
Very interesting! Slight correction to what you are saying at 12:12 --the men did one SET to volitional failure (so as many reps as they could physically do) at 80% of max effort. Still super interesting how little it would take!
I'm on board with all of this and have cut my carbs, but i still CRAVE sugar ! Constantly. I'm hoping the longer i go with excluding refinded sugar the cravings will go away. Also, drinking enough water should be mentioned. So so important!
I have PCOS and all I have been searching the Internet trying to figure out what exactly is it and what I can do to help control it this is by far the best video I have ever seen it was informative I'm going to try it out thank you for sharing
This new month of September is a bless month for me, am so grateful to you DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on UA-cam for curing my PCOS with with your herbal medication God bless you doctor 🥳🌱
This is true. I was told at 18 by a gyno that my eggs weren't developing. Years later I started exercising and eating right and I finally got pregnant. I didn't know I was pregnant and my baby was delivered at 26 weeks. He's 4 he has some health issues but he's growing and learning with his age group.
I have so much to say, Firstly happy that you made this video. especially the insulin resistance. when the food pyramid was introduces: high carbs, medium amount of protein and low fat. Diabetes and other health complication skyrocketed. Why the insulin. Who profits? EVERYONE..the medical system, supermarkets, everyone. It is time we take our health in our hands and find the truth. By reversing the diet you will be shock how quickly 'Chronic illness' will go a way.
Your video is so encouraging. I have insulin resistance. I needed someone to explain these things to me. I really appreciate you understanding that not all people are ready to jump into the deep end of this pool. You have given me a vision of what I can actually start doing now, as well as things I may want move into later. Subscribed. Am looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks for increasing my knowledge and giving me renewed hope in the possitive changes I can still make. God bless.
I remember years ago I went to a walk-in clinic and told the doctor I don't get my period! Do you know what he said? He said women only need a period to get pregnant!! I was shocked! What school some of these doctors graduate from!?
We expect doctors to guid us in our health, but I don’t think this is what their job is. Lol They are really drug pushers (candy man), working for the hospital.
This is what doctors are taught. Also doctors Brain washing women that periods are only for getting pregnant....stating periods are dangerous to your health & women need to use birth control for better health.
Yes i agree most ppl eat snacks because theyre bored not because they need the nutrients. I used to do that instead of listening to my body. There is a myth tho that it speeds up ur metabolism overeating doesnt speed up ur metabolism n many snacks are crap food anyway.
regardless of what this uneducated woman is telling you, YOU CAN NOT REVERSE PCOS! you can lessen symptoms by losing weight but you will ALWAY have pcos. it just doesn’t work the way this lady wants you to believe.
To be diagnosed with PCOS you have to have two out of the three main symptoms. All three can be reversed entirely, in turn reversing a PCOS diagnosis. I work with and hear from women nearly every day who were able to reverse their PCOS using the methods I outlined 🙏 Read through some of these comments.
FYI I am a certified nutrition coach through Precision Nutrition (university accredited), certified health coach through PHCI and completing my undergraduate degree in nutrition and exercise. I also work with dietitan's and doctors who agree with me that PCOS can be reversed.
You might find Dr. Seeman's channel and podcast helpful: ua-cam.com/video/DG9IMMVyf_0/v-deo.html She is a board certified obstetrician-gynecologist who reversed her own PCOS.
All the best on your journey to health!
why do you say it cant be cured? where is your proof? if you can cure are cyst on the skin you can cure them in your body. people get cysts in their lungs, liver, etc. and are able to clear them out
@@Highwizardd dear incredibly unknowledgeable ignorant person. as a person with pcos whom is also studying to become and obgyn and has specifically done profound amounts of research on pcos, YOU CAN NOT CURE IT. the symptoms can be lessened and made to be nearly nonexistent with weight loss, the disease itself will never go away. one of the first things they tell you when you receive a diagnosis is that it is incurable.
@@shimeyshimeycocopuff stop being rude, that's not cool at all. It can be reversed like so many other things can as well. It doesn't matter if you believe that or not. I'm trying to figure out why you are hostile and rude. Uncalled for.
@@alisasanders3 it’s not rude you guys are just wrong
Hearing that I can reverse my PCOS literally brought tears to my eyes...
It's true. By just eating more healthier, less carbs, less sugar and IF I was able to reverse pcos. I went from having no periods for 1.5 year to having it almost every month now. I try not to eat cold temp things and drink ginger water often. Losing weight, if overweight, helps too. I weight train as well. I told my doctor I wanted to lose it more naturally by losing weight. She told me not to put all my eggs in one basket. But I didn't want to take medication. So I stuck to it and slowly but surely my periods became more regular. I also follow some remedies from my culture like drinking certain soups with certain herbs and not eating certain foods. So don't give up and don't stress too much about it.
@@winniechen4311 can you till what’s the certain foods you eat and don’t eat?
Same here
@@misssamar7808 in my culture, it's common knowledge to not drink or eat cold temperature food and drinks during menstruation +few days after menstruation ends. Cold stuff includes salads. We have a thing called "lerng" which includes celery, watercress, cucumbers, watermelon etc that are to avoid. Dates and goji berries are good to drink after menstruation. Hot Ginger water to drink daily in the morning. Eat less processed food. My mom makes me these Chinese herbal soup with chicken. Tastes yummy. You can buy a black chicken and boil it. Just UA-cam some Chinese black chicken soup recipes. There should be tones
@@winniechen4311 thank u so much
Before I was officially diagnosed with PCOS I gained so much weight, had missed periods or excruciating periods to the point where I couldn't even move out of bed for days, constant fatigue, you name it. My husband did some research on it and predicted I had PCOS, and then I had a doctor confirm that's what I had. I had tried a vegan diet and weight lifting. I went from 240 lbs down to about 230 lbs and that's where I stayed. Then we researched keto. We practically eliminated 98% of all carbs and increased our fat (primary fat came from olive, avocado, and coconut oil as well as Greek yogurt and some butter in moderation) and vegetable intake with continuous excersise (cardio and weight lifting). At first I didn't see the physical change, but I did FEEL it within the first month. Energy, motivated, alert, happier. Then the weight started to melt and my periods began to regulate without birth control. My hair started to thicken again and I didn't see as much facial hair. The painful periods were fewer and fewer. I essentially went from 235 lbs down to 194 lbs. It was amazing! So I believe PCOS can actually be reversed with lifestyle changes! So glad you posted this video!
Hi Mushi ~ I have been strength training for awhile about 8 weeks and the scale went up though I could feel a change - posture improved. Felt stronger in my back- which weirdly makes me walk with more confidence as I feel stronger. But- I gained almost 5 pounds- The machine they use at the gym said it was 3 pounds of muscle Other two probably water. So I keep going because I feel better- my weight finally today went back down to the weight I started the gym at. I have 3 weeks left at the gym and plan on still doing strength training at home. How long or what was the transformation like when you finally start loosing weight. I hope you answer because I see many weight loss success stories though few with PCOS and even fewer who have had hairloss. And am encouraged to see your hair improved also.
@@ride_with_me Hi! I'm so glad you touched base with me! Core workouts are crucial for posture and overall strength. It includes your back, legs, and torso. You strengthen the muscles in your back, you walk more upright an alleviate a lot of pain from your lower back. It's amazing!
So the first time I started with the keto and the weight training I gained weight instead of losing it, which was so discouraging. But my husband told me it was normal because muscle weighs more than fat. Because you're gaining muscle, your weight will increase slightly (me it was something like 7lbs in 2 darn weeks. I was so sad!) However I did physically see a difference. I saw it in my waist and in my face (oddly enough that's the first place I lose it). My clothes were starting to loosen up a bit. After about a month is when I started to see the weight drop on the scale, and I physically started to see it on my legs, arms, belly, face, and back. As I continued, I started to have more energy, more motivated, less pain on my joints, clearer skin, better breath (I say that very seriously. No matter how many times I brushed my teeth my breath would be awful. I had dry mouth as another side effect of the PCOS. Eating healthier and dropping the weight helped A LOT) stronger hair and nails, less facial hair, and way less painful periods. It was amazing. So you're on the right track. Keep strength training and eating the right portions. My weightloss journey took about a year ( a few months less than a year) and it was tough but VERY doable. You got this! Once you drop the weight you'll feel so different and amazing!
Also be sure to watch your diet, like portioning and what not. It plays a big role in what your body uses to burn for fuel. And don't starve yourself either. That was my first mistake. lol. If you have any other questions or whatnot please feel free to ask me. I'd love to help! Keep rockin' it!
How are you doing now still great I hope! Trying to get mine under control I got prescribed BC to help it but I’m afraid of the side effects
I don't know why, but this made me cry.
Thank you for sharing your story. It gave me hope and brought tears to my ears. Thank you!!
My wife has pcos and she is following your advice..she has lost weight and loving it. i know we shall get our desire results and conceive our children....many thanks.
Amazing! 🙏
God willing.
@@HealthCoachKaitdoes it have treatment?
I have PCOS. I've been on a low carb diet for 4 months going more towards 20g of carbs or some days only meat. My stomach is flat and not bloated for the first time in 25 years😊
Amazing Julie-Ann! 👏 Keep it up!
Yeah the human body wasn't meant to consume processed foods
Can you do a diet for fibroids to shrink please
Can you recommend any foods to eat?
Carbs can make you bloated?🤔
Have you been diagnosed with PCOS?
I know women who are definitely infertile and coincidentally they are all vegan. do you think there is a link?
The fat soluble vitamins in animal fat are important for fertility. I know quite a few ex-vegans who had irregular periods until they started eating animal foods again.
I think it’s connected to sugar/carbs. I know somebody who was told she was infertile due to PCOS - she tried IVF twice.
Many years later she and her husband discovered Keto and did it for one month or so with the simple of goal of losing some body fat. Within a couple of months, to her amazement, she was pregnant
Yes..😭😭...irregular periods with hairs on my chinny chin chin...difficulty losing weight.
@@MrzWill I know the feeling. But don't loose hope. You will get there!! ❤️
As a physical therapist who has gone WAY down the research rabbit hole, I can confidently verify every idea she shared here. Insulin Resistance/Hyperinsulinemia is actually also responsible for most fibromyalgia, heart attacks and strokes, fatty liver disease, vascular dementia, infertility, peripheral nerve pain and damage, tinnitus & hearing loss, macular degeneration!
There's your killer, developed countries! The root cause is right in front of us
I'm discovering fibromyalgia, your link with insulin resistance seems interesting...
@@souslarmure yes it's fascinating! Also common is micronutrient deficiencies... Your nerves need many minerals from healthy food like Mg, VitD from ☀️, b vitamins, etc
Great- now I finally learn from youtube what my doctor should have told me twelve years ago!
I literally just said this… Some Doctors 🙄
Please listen to your doctor, PCOS cannot be cured. Yes you can manage the symptoms through lifestyle and diet, but as soon as you drop the ball, they will come back.
I have tried every single thing you've discussed, and I can confirm, you are right. I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 16. I used to weigh 350 lbs. I am currently about 220. I've had two beautiful babies. All of these tips were spot on. Great video.
Also, by doing these things, my left ovary became non-cystic. My right one still has cysts, but it did make large improvements to my life.
Praise God
PCOS is not always accompanied by insulin resistance. I have intuitively consumed low carbohydrates almost all my life, I have a low body mass index and have been repeatedly laboratory confirmed to lack insulin resistance, and yet I have lived with PCOS all my life. and I forgot to say - I maintain a sufficient level of physical activity. You give the right advice for most, but not for all. For those who, like me, already lead a healthy lifestyle, your video can only be demotivating. And nothing will cancel the fact that other girls can enjoy chips and soda while lying on the couch and not have consequences in the form of acne, irregular periods, etc. and with PCOS, all these good habits can only remove the symptoms. These tips are still good for maintaining overall health, but they are not a cure for PCOS at all.
DR OBALAR @ YT CURED ME COMPLETELY FROM PCOS ❤..
Did you get your insulin tested or just your blood sugar. Look into the foods you're eating and products you're using. You might have to be gluten and/or dairy free also. What is a sufficient amount of physical activity? Try resistance training and walking more. There's always room for improvement with diet and exercise. Also intermittent fasting.
Doesn't make any sense. PCOS is caused by high insulin, IF you have always eaten llow carbohydrate foods , you would not get huge peeks of insulin.
You also could be missing enzymes that convert myo-inosotol into DCI. Look it up it is all related. Also skinny people can get insulin resistance. Make sure you research the sub clinical levels. I notice the levels from Labcorp and from doctors can vary. It was the same way with my sister finally getting diagnosed with Hashimoto's. It isn't the general test for thyroid she had to take and they had to catch it when it was low. These tests aren't always super accurate because the body is always changing states. NOTHING about this video is demotivating. Keep researching.
As someone who struggled with PCOS before, doing keto diet and exercise helped us conceive our #2 baby. Now trying to conceive our #3, through Low carb and Fasting again. Lol Definitely takes discipline. It’s worth it Ladies❤️!!
How long did it take to make baby #2
is the babies healthy im more scared of the babies health for some reason
hi you have instagrams?
Gees, she's ill af and she's popping out more babies 🤣🤨
You can even do carnivore like Kelly Hogan did
I was diagnosed with pcos at 17, suffered endless rupturing cysts and scarring on my uterus through my early 20s. Then in my mid 20s I began intermittent fasting due to my work schedule without realizing that’s what it was called, and ended up losing weight and getting blessed with a surprise but very welcome pregnancy at 25. My kiddo is 4 now and I have been experiencing pcos symptoms again for the last year and a half. I’m back to intermittent fasting and keto and so happy to have found this channel! I hardly comment on UA-cam videos but I felt called to share this here! Thanks!
How long did you fast for each day please?
thanks for sharing your experience ❤ I’m currently 17 and so far has symptoms ig but I haven’t been fully diagnosed ( also working on getting a new doc ) But I wanted to know how do you recommend me going abt fasting if you don’t mind , hope all is well & have a amazing day❤
Thank you😊 please are you on any medication?
This is the best video that I’ve seen for PCOS. Very evidence based. Lots of other people encourage a gluten and dairy free diet without having any scientific evidence.
Excellent information. I'm 66 and still trying to get diagnosed. But I believe PCOS is it. Youthful years spent with irregular periods, infertility, hypothyroidism (led to a thyroidectomy) and adult acne. Post menopausal years spent with high testosterone levels, high bp, type II diabetes, male pattern baldness, acne, alternating constipation/diarrhea, heavy body hair growth, all of the named symptoms. I've noticed a lot of women in my age group with male pattern baldness which affects our self esteem tremendously. Thank you for sharing this information. I plan to change my diet and eating habits right away.
This video is life changing! I’ve noticed fasting has helped me incredibly! I’ve been diagnosed with PCOS for nearly 20 years. Thank you for your work! I will be sharing your video! Now to learn how to fast with my menstrual cycle for the best nutritional support!
I was diagnosed with PCOS. I was put on contraceptives, which helped regulate my period but the side effects were terrible so decided to get off them. I started following a Keto diet and I now get regular periods and able been able to lose my belly fat.
Are your periods painful without birth control?
@@KT-pw1cq They actually not. They were painful when I was on birth control
Birth control can actually mask the issue, too. It causes you to bleed monthly even if you are not ovulating. I didn't realise I was having hormonal issues until I got off birth control and realised I had lost my period 😥
I used to have EXCRUCIATING periods to the point I would have to call in sick to school/work at least one day. Also, extremely heavy. Birth control helped a bit, but when I got off and got my period back increasing my iron and iodine especially were a game changer. Now I have no cramps and my period is lighter and shorter 🙏
Thanks for sharing, recently got diagnosed and the doctor just suggested a different contraceptive to the one I'm on. In the back of my mind I knew that couldn't be the only solution.
Took birth control pills for 5 years and just felt sick the entire time. I also gained more weight and have these dark skin in my armpits and nape. I decided to stop taking it, researched and started exercising and decreasing my carb intake. I've never felt so much better! It's been months since my period came back regularly without the use of synthetic meds. Lifestyle change is definitely the best decision I've ever made!
What about the dark skin? Is it fine too?
I think it's some birth control pills that give u pcos because my Lil niece was on birth control then she had cysts grown in her ovary but they removed it then she got pregnant 2 times as soon as she got back on birth control 6 months after she had eggs that didn't mature and turned in to a cysts again but that's just me idk
@@strozierchristieyep, that one is called Post Pill PCOS! There are 3 other types. Insulin Resistance PCOS, Adrenal PCOS and Chronic Inflammation PCOS.
Birth control stopped working for me, was fine for a couple of years then period just stopped while I was still on it. They couldn't find any medication that worked in actually triggering a period. Doctors solution? Just keep going on the pill 😲. Honestly after 1000s of moneys spent on doctors to get that as a solution was traumatic, I still have trouble trusting doctors.
I have officially reversed my PCOS💛 so it is possible, is it hard ? Absolutely . I went low/ no carb . Working out , drinking apple cider vinegar every single day with water( 2 cap full of it in my water 8oz bottle and the apple cider vinegar has to say “ with the mother “ on it ) in 4-5 months i started getting my periods normally again . So it’s possible ladies just a little time at first but its so worth it 💛 Good luck and GODBLESS you all
What were you eating for breakfast , lunch dinner and snacks ?
I wish you were around 20 years ago when I was first diagnosed LOL. I can tell you that without a doubt the intermittent fasting and a lower carb diet has done wonders for me! I feel like I have a new lease on life!! ❤️❤️❤️

I have PCOS and was diagnosed in the 90's the doctor wasn't helpful I wish there was all of this great info out there back then
I now have type 2 diabetes I was on metformin it didn't agree with me at all the doctor & nutritionist kept telling me we'll teach you how to manage & high carb foods were fine
I went low carb lost over 40lb I try to stay 5-10 carbs or less a day
That shud say...same here..unreal
Pcos is not the end of life.there is a permanent cure for pcos without any side effects contact dr adule for your permanent cure Dr adule on UA-cam.dr adule on HPV.fibrods. shingles.als.inflammation.etc.
Thanks for spreading awareness about this! So many women with PCOS think birth control is the only option because nobody tells them otherwise. My OBGYN never even mentioned to me that I was insulin resistant, she just said birth control would control my PCOS. I went on years eating a standard american high carb diet while taking birth control feeling horrible. It wasn't until I saw another doctor for a different reason that mentioned the benefits of reducing carbs and IF for PCOS. I've been doing low carb & IF for a couple months and I truly feel SOOO much better and I've lost 20 pounds.
Yes!!!! Birth control is a band aid fix if anything. It can also cause to to menstruate without actually ovulating...
This is similar to my story
if you don't mind me asking how long do you fast for daily?
same story here ✋🏻
What's IF 🙄 why dont you spell it out 🙄🙄
What helped me to incorporate in my daily life was black seed oil and sea moss complex. Blackseed oil contains 101 benefits and sea moss complex has 102 minerals.
Hi thanks for sharing. Could you please tell me which brand of black seed oil you take?
try chia seeds too
Spearmint tea has anti androgen properties as well. Peppermint tea does too but to a lesser degree as the peppermint plant is a cross of Spearmint and Watermint
As a gym instructor, i totally agree with her. She is really amazing.
🤗🤗
Extremely helpful! Been trying to study up on PCOS, because my girlfriend was diagnosed bc with it, and this has been the best video I’ve seen! Many of the other videos on this topic are so confusing due to the medical language and terminology, but you broke it down so well and made it very understandable for someone who has no idea what PCOS is. Thank you for what you’re doing and keep up the good work!
1. Keep Insulin levels low follow a low carb diet ketogenic diet
Eat less than 45% calories
Increase dietary Whole Foods
2. Eat carbs last
3.build muscle /exercise more muscles means the body can store more glucose. Resistance training is more effective than cardio .yield results on insulin resistance
4. Eat More salt !
5. Stop snacking !!!! Eating more often is doing more harm than good !!!! We want to reverse insulin resistance . Constant eating intermediate fasting. Skip snacks through out the day .
I have PCOS. 11 years ago I made the decision to swear off BC. I am 39 years old best decision ever!! I quickly learned everything the dr says, is not always working in my favor. From then on I did my research as I didn't want drugs or depression to plague my life unecessarily. I have two kids. Before I got pregnant I got a hormone panel done and saw where I stood. I figured out what excerises worked for my body. This journey is filled with learning curves everyday when it comes to eating. I appreciate how this video highlights the basics. Snacking and sugar are my enemies but everyday I develop a little more self control to the point where it doesn't phase me when I can walk by my cupboard and not pick up snacks. Some days are harder tho. To know that I can listen to my body when I am not hungry and not pig out just because is something so awesome and I have come far. Although I have ways to go with getting my sleeping on point, I am in it for the long haul to prevent long term consequences. This video motivated me that much more to support my body so PCOS can be history. How do you know when it's history though? Your hormone panel comes back regulated after X amount of tests?
I have had PCOS for 21 year years now it has not been fun. Started keto and intermittent fasting last year. Honestly keto felt like too much work. But this time I have decided to try carnivore just to avoid the temptation of having plant foods and see what happens. Been doing so much research so I get it right and avoid causing myself myself and harm. I have stopped deluding myself it will happen or completely reverse within 6months to a year. Am giving myself at least two years to see progress.and currently taking Metformin. It's amazing how my doctor and gynecologists have very little knowledge about PCOS.
After a life time of diagnosed with PCOS I got cured with the help of Dr imenherbal on UA-cam channel and till now I'm free from PCOS . ua-cam.com/channels/1PVLGWeT3a6Cto-kOD9IfQ.html
I mean, everything in a human body is connected and doctors of the past were called healers because they had wholistic approach to body givings herbs not processed pills. Also, humans lifestyle was different.
Lifestyle changes is the only thing that can help you...
All the little choices you take like eating a chocolate, spicy food, tea, etc etc. everyday...those choices lead us to PCOD.
Be strong! Be Fit! And stay healthy!
Sending love if you feel bad , it's ok you'll overcome it if you work hard ♥️🫂

I have reversed the endometriosis, PCOS, and fibroids (that are genetic in my family) twice with traditional Chinese medicine. It came back because I went through extraordinary stress in my personal life. I am currently following many tips in this video (but also taking inositol) to reverse it again. So far, it’s working slowly. Thanks for this video!
Hi girl pcos here too I have insulin resistance could you be able to share the Chinese medicine you are taking ? And how have they helped you ?
@@cynthiagonzalez4967 I go to a TCM doctor every week and he gives me a mix of herbs for one week. So the formula changes ever week. I am not entirely sure what he gives me! But it works. And I get accupuncture every week with electrodes on the needles that go into my belly, just underneath my bellybutton.
@@nataliethompson8648can you give me the address of dr
I was on birth control for a while but I got extremely depressed. Got off them and was eating high carb for awhile and working out but still not losing weight. 6 months ago I stopped drinking alcohol and started eating a high protein low carb diet and the weight melted off. It was amazing. I no longer feel bloated, my period is more regular, and my stomach pain is gone. PCOS has been a burden all my life, but diet has been key.💙 I’m vegetarian so I eat a lot of veggies, nuts, Greek yogurt, tofu, grains, and occasionally eat something bad, but it really works out for me
I have no clue about this. No lie. I love science and studies to help people live better. Thanks Kait.
Hi Kait. Thank you! This has helped me think all hope is not lost with my PCOS. I’m not looking to get pregnant but I know a part of the problem is that I have obesity. I have most of the symptoms including sleep apnea. Unfortunately, I feel all of this is connected and with some lifestyle changes, it might help. I do love carbs so I’m going to try to eat less before I decide to let it all go. I’m also trying to follow your guidelines and hopefully my PCOS might be gone. I am very frustrated in having this condition so hopefully these changes will make me feel better in the long run.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I was just diagnosed and have been feeling hopeless, depressed, and just ...ugly
I've been looking online for hours on how to naturally reverse or help the symptoms. Thank god I came across your video!!! I'm definitely taking your advice and hopefully I can reverse this horrible illness!!
You've got this Jane! 🤗
I love how her videos are backed up by research throughout
🤗🤗
tip 5 is verryyy true! The biggest changes I've seen was combining intermitted fasting with a dairy free keto type meal plan... I was just unable to stick to it for than a month due to eating disorders and my mind set that became unsteady.

Oh my gosh thank you so much for this video ❤️ I found out I have PCOS a year ago and I’m now pregnant with my first child. I got instant anxiety when I heard that you’re 3x more likely to miscarry if you have PCOS. Really glad to know that it can be managed 🥰🙏🏼
Hope your pregnancy is going well my sister 💞 God bless you
Apparently seed oil such as canola and sunflower oils (with high omega 6) can also contribute to insulin resistance
The link between the PUFA and insulin resistance isn't as clear as the link between high carbs/sugar and insulin resistance. I don't deny it plays a part, but it hasn't been studies very much.
They are inflammatory oils so they are definitely bad for pcos.
I do low-carb, intermittent fasting, moderate exercise, and take Ovasitol 👍 it's definitely helped regulate my insulin and hormones.
🙌🙌
Where do i get ovasitol
@@amparan001 you can also get it from amazon , just search for inositol
Do you know if it’s helped you to ovulate regularly as well?
How did you take Ovasitol?
I appreciate how simple and not overwhelming this video was
This is the best video I’ve listened to about how to reverse PCOS at least for my personality type it was very clear and well explained and I feel more motivated to lower my carbs and sugar intake.
🥰🥰
Never been diagnosed but have had all the symptoms, infrequent periods, infertility, very hairy, frequent yeast infections and male pattern balding. Keto has helped me tremendously!
Thanks for the fantastic video Kait. I really think more awareness about Insulin Resistance and a Keto lifestyle can revolutionize how we approach this dreadful condition and the metabolic diseases that come with it. I didn't know I had PCOS until it had already caused me a lot of damage and health problems with weight gain at adolescence and depression (I would love to see a video on IR and depression). I was a cross country runner when I was younger and I never ate any more than anyone else (actually less) but I could never lose weight. Even until recently, I used to swim 3500metres 4-5x a week but I lost no weight, had irregular periods and my hair just continued to get thinner and thinner . Since starting keto a few weeks ago, I haven't slayed the pounds yet but I have lost weight for the first time past my set point and I had two consecutive monthly periods since I cannot remember when! I feel hopeful about making positive health changes and really adapting this as my new lifestyle. I look forward to all the new changes coming my way physically and mentally. I so need to work on sleep though!
I really hope women, especially young girls, who see such drastic changes prior to puberty or alongside with it recognize these changes as a major hormonal imbalance resulting from PCOS and not due to personal failure or not exercising enough. There really needs to be more awareness on this and I think IR is the key to understanding childhood obesity. Keep doing what you are doing. It is brilliant work and much needed. I wish you continued success.
P.S. You are such a beautiful young lady and totally remind me of Deb from Dexter :)
Amazing results in just a few weeks! 👏
Apple cider vinegar & taking inositol are some things that have also helped my PCOS along with everything you said!
👏👏
How do you drink ACV?
@@kendaleneb3526 mix 1-2 tbsp in 8 ounce water with lemon juice, pink himalyayan salt cayenne pepper and drink with a straw! IT HELPS!!
Did you take inositol after asking your DR or not? :)
Lots of great info here that can benefit the whole family 👍
Glad you found it helpful! 😁
Yep, in my personal experience, this is totally true. Three years ago, I actually watched what I ate, lost some weight, and got pregnant. My other pcos symptoms also lessened. After having my son, I stopped caring as much and gained weight, and my symptoms returned. So yeah, you can totally “reverse” your symptoms and get better, just like you can later “reverse” them again to become worse. I think it works both ways! 🤷🏻♀️
Please guide me I wanna conceive
I diagnosed with pcos way back 2019, i am 22 yrs old and i am thin only 47kg, my partner didnt know i have pcos he will surely leave me if he finds out and i love him so much. I dont want to lose him. I know some will tell “he’s not inlove with you if he just gonna leave you because of your pcos” but some people want kids. I want kids too. And my partner also want kids. We are just poor. We cant afford to eat healthier foods and my parents also dont have support for me. I am alone battling my pcos. God knows how much i am hurting. I really want to have kids.
Hey, I understand how you feel, but honey if your partner isn't someone who can't support you through turmoil ..then he's not the one , live for yourself not for a guy or having kids for him
@@ShivangiSrivastav-uj9bs
Thank you for that
Can you access a piece of meat and butter a day? That alone, with some water and salt will sustain you....and more than likely reverse your pcos quickly. Don't cost much at all.
@ I can but I am lean pcos, i am just 46 kg, the less i consume food the more hungry I am.
I went paleo and drank spearmint tea every day for 2 years. I went to my gynaecologist to get a scan done, and she told me if she didn’t know anything before, she would have told me I don’t have PCOS as no cysts were showing up!! I still have the symptoms, hair on face etc, weight gain/belly , anxiety, but my period is on time and so regular now
I’m not tying to get pregnant, but she told me I looked healthy enough on the scan.
So yes, low carb diet, low sugar, low dairy, diet does make a difference, also slat. And drinking spearmint tea every day will make a huge difference.
I just wish the hair and skin tags would go away on its own.
Got fully diagnosed yesterday after my ultrasound showed way more cysts then I could have ever imagined. I told my Dr. I wanted to do everything as natural as possible and all she told me was to loose weight and maybe that would help get my cycles back. I'm barely doing my research in what is PCOS and different diets and this video definitely put my mind at ease that there's hope to reversing this.
Any updates?
Thanks!
Thank YOU! 🥰
It only clicked for me in the
last month that low carb/keto is the only true way to help heal PCOS which I’ve been battling for 18 years! Wish I’d knew this info then, great video
Wow we must be on the same wavelength or something, I was literally thinking about asking you to do a video about PCOS this morning (I have PCOS) and then you uploaded one! Haven't watched yet but I'm sure it will be good info! I have PCOS and have lost 90 pounds and seen a reversal in all of my symptoms and got off Metformin! I haven't completely reversed my IR just yet but I'm almost there!
Read your mind Kristy! 😁 Congrats on the 90lb lost! 👏
@@HealthCoachKait Thank you! Keep up the awesome work!
How did you lose the weight?? Congrats!!!
@@lindsaymiguel8258 Thanks! I used a combination of alternate day fasting and keto/LCHF. Some weeks I’m keto and some weeks I’m more just low carb (50g of carbs). I’ve also alternated weeks where I’ve done carnivore plus 20:4 or OMAD. I honestly get the best results when I do carnivore, it’s just hard for me to stick with all the time so I switch it up a lot.
@@pokefan5ever I can TOTALLY understand what you’re saying... OMAD and Carnivore is my sweet spot. It’s so weird how we know it’s best for us but still so hard to do... For me, I get strong cravings for nuts and then it’s hard to get back on it... Would you say Alternate day fasting was just as affective or more so than OMAD for you? Thank you so much for your time, I’m still trying to figure it all out...
Sent to my daughter. She doesn’t get periods. Can’t get pregnant. But not married yet so that’s been good. But she wonders what is wrong.
🙏🙏
Have her see doctors now! Pcos is more than just something that makes it hard to get pregnant! Also don't trust any doctor who tells you to just put her on the pill. A doctor told me 20 years ago that I could always get pregnant easily with pcos just by taking fertility medication. 3 miscarriages later I'm so mad I didn't get a second opinion when I was younger. Bioidentical progesterone which you can buy at a health store always helped me get my period back easily.
As someone with PCOS who is unsuccessfully trying to get pregnant since December, this video is a blessing! Confirming insuline resistance in April, I’ve started following low IG diet and implemented regular exercise. I’ve been also taking inositols. I’ve noticed a huge improvement already, but I’m always eager to learn more!
🙏🙏
Do you become pregnant
@ no
@@kasiowelove1 are you still trying or going for IVF,never mind,I am facing same issue!
This is extremly informative. Finally!
🤗🤗
This is true. From Philippines here. My supervisor was very fat back then and cant bear a child due to picos. So she try disciplined her self in the food she intake.
As what she told me, she avoid carbohydrates, all dairy foods like milk to cheese, fatty food, food with too much oil and sugar. She also did fasting and walking every Saturday.
She mentioned that people with picos have a hard time reduce weight, like her. And she doesn't want to go to gym and exercise because it will make tired and sleepy. So for alternative she avoided foods that can make her body fat.
Now she has 3 kids.
Anyone who has pcos and is underweight??👀
I was until I started birth control at 19… I know birth control can help relieve PCOS symptoms as well, but I wasn’t diagnosed then and absolutely blew up and suddenly had so many PCOS symptoms. You may want to cut out gluten and see how you feel. It made a huge difference for my body, and mental health. Your body may not be absorbing enough nutrients. I ate so many pastas/breads prior to birth control and was underweight and had an irregular period.

normal weight, no acne, extra hair, but irregular periods and difficulty getting pregnant.
@@jovanieastudillo4023Me also
I’m not under weight but I’m not over weight either… 🤷🏼♀️
@@jovanieastudillo4023sounds like me but I don’t have extra hair. I’ve always had a very well balanced diet and have always exercised but still have PCOS and can’t seem to ovulate so I can at least try and get pregnant
I will really try to follow these five steps I hope it really works 😊 video was very clear about everything understood properly👍
Thank you! I finally got the correlation between PCO and insuline resistance
🙏🙏
My question is... so being a type 2 diabetic on insulin shots would make PCOS worse/ non reversible???
I'm so overwhelmed, but inspired by this. I've only just found out that I have high blood sugar, and on day one of trying to figure out what's going on, I keep finding the huge link between PCOS and insulin resistance ... how did I not know about this before??? I've been through IVF because of my PCOS and nobody ever mentioned this to me!! No point looking back, but I'm really so pleased and relieved to learn this now and hopefully soon see an in improvement in all my symptoms. Thank you xx
It's so frustrating that the connection isn't mentioned more... The reason metformin is so effective for PCOS (reduces symptoms in 90% of women) is because it improves insulin sensitivity!
Yes PCOS IS REVERSABLE! There is hope ! , its been more than 10 yrs of me fighting pcos before i did low carb and intermittent fasting and was so surprised i was able to reversed it! Change of lifestyle can really help so much plus believe that you can! , thanks much Coach Kait all the love from SHAE JELLA channel ,
🙏🙏
Do you go dairy free!
@@herbalscience-ne3du less dairy and more focusing on healthy fats and protein ;-)
I’m really excited about trying out all of these tips especially the one about salt and the one about not snacking. This was super interesting and hopefully super helpful.
Glad you found the video helpful Linn! 🤗
I can personally attest to this.
I started my period very early (9 years old. For the first two years it was somewhat irregular and then at 11 it stopped. For 5 years, doctors were no help, didn’t want to deal with me bc of my age, finally when I was 15-16 they threw some progesterone pills at me and told me to lose weight with no real guidance. After years of doing a ton of research and finally growing up and buying my own food and being able to experiment with my diet, I slowly got my periods back and when I went fully carnivore, I IMMEDIATELY had a 28 DAY CYCLE. Which had never happened before, I was always 5-8 weeks even when it came back.
Even when I’ve been eating carbs and not on track, I have figured out that if I drop my carbs back down to nearly nothing for seven days I can get my period back within that week.
Went fully carnivore?🤔 That sounds kinda weird. Lol 🤣
Like you might eat people too. 😄 But what does it actually mean?
@@GoaWay... she means she eats only animal based
@@patthanboy444 I have heard of people going full on non-animal everything. Isn't it hard to only eat things that come from animals? What about fruits and veggies?🤔
@@GoaWay... pure carnivore is like that..but on keto..fruits n veggies are allowed in a limit and no it's not hard if u enjoy meat n eggs
@@patthanboy444 I love eggs 😍....and meat too. I can barely go a day without eggs.
It's also the first thing I learned to cook when I was 8. You probably don't care about that little fact about myself. 😄😀
I had no idea I had PCOS. In fact my ultrasounds of my ovaries were always normal. When I removed my IUD I had painful late periods, but I got pregnant 🤷♀️ after my baby I had an ultrasound and saw the cysts on my ovaries, it scared the hell out of me. I did gain quite a bit of weight during pregnancy when I used to be low carb/high healthy fats. Ughh
WOW! THIS INFO WAS GREAT AND HAD MY TOTAL FOCUS FROM BEGINNING TO THE END. NOT MANY THINGS CAN DO THAT TO ME.I AM SO GLAD THAT I CAME ACROSS THIS...NEWLY SUBSCRIBED!
I am so glad I ran into this channel I have not been diagnosed but I have all the symptoms. 😢 I am 36 and have no kids and just breaks my heart that I am getting older with no kids willing to try anything ❤thank you
I have pcos and didn’t have a period for 2 years, had acne, and extra body hair. I went keto, lost 61 lbs, and have now had 3 normal periods! I never thought I would be so happy to bleed lol. I’m still on my keto journey but this is a lifestyle now. I do high fat/low carb which is exactly what female hormones need
I know exactly how you feel, I used to get extremely painful periods and then they stopped altogether in my 20s. I cleaned up health and it came back and then I got pregnant. I will never hate getting a period, no matter how painful, ever again.
Way to go, Lily! Be sure to strength train too 💪😎 even just starting out with practicing some squats and gentle pushups on all 4s in your soft bed is a start! You could even fill a couple gallon jugs part way with tap water & curl+ press them!
The salt part is what I find fascinating owing that I don't eat salt and I have insulin resistance.
Salt has been wrongly demonized! There is only a small % of people who are "salt sensitive" and see a change in their blood pressure when they eat more or less salt.
@@HealthCoachKait I'm glad I found your Channel. I will definitely incorporate salt in my diet. It's depressing for me at some point, no changes in my health.
I've struggled with overweight/obesity since I was a child and could never lose weight. My periods were very regular and otherwise I've been healthy. A couple of months ago I missed a period and went to my doctor to check and she told me "I am the type pcos likes" and that I was fat because of pcos and not the other way around. I was relieved for a minute because "well, I can't do anything about it so I might as well continue eating unhealthily" but soon that turned to let down and anger and I was ecstatic to hear it IS reversible and now I’m trying keto diet and going to the gym after the adjustment period to avoid stressing my body too much at once. Thank you Kait for your great work
#DRIYAREMOSES on UA-cam channel has natural herbs medication that cures PCOS permanently am a living proof I've used it and it works.
Glad I found this video! Im doing calorie counting right now because I wanted a break from keto but I can tell I need start back lowering my carb intake again. It makes me sad, but I can agree that I always felt my best when my carbs were lower. This time im going to try Low carb instead of keto. Keto was hard for me to do long term. Loved your video! Great information!
You've got this! 🤗
In my country and culture, sources of carbs like potatoes and grains have been very important for ages, it had started long before processed foods and fast food meals became available and popular. The cultural importance of bread here is huge, there are poems about bread and older generations used to teach all children that you shouldn't waste any crumble or let it rot, or put it in a garbage bin because bread is a symbol of Christ and the holy Eucharist.
My nation consumes loads of dumplings, pasta, jam, pancakes, and beer. We celebrate anything and everything with cake. Meat is almost always served with potatoes (or rice). There are many types of soup served with pieces of pasta, bread crumbles or rice in it.
This is why I can understand that keto diet is just too much because you would cause yourself or others massive trouble on any occasion like family gathering or even eating out with anyone, honestly. This is why I decided, wanting to live normally with friends and family, that I will try as hard as I can to keep any food that I prepare low GI so that I can have a cheat evening with a mainstream meal from time to time and it won't ruin anything because the next day I'm back to my now-normal low GI diet. Seems to work for now, combined with some exercise.
I just want to say thank you for posting this video. I was diagnosed back in October of last year and have been extremely worried about managing my weight and symptoms. Now that I know how to do it I can start implementing this into my life to help!
DR OBALAR @ YT CURED ME COMPLETELY FROM PCOS ❤..
Great video. Nowadays doctors just want to push you with medication and to just get on with it. I have pcos and lately been doing keto diet. Still Tring to get to grips with what to eat in a keto. But I was told that I would have to eat every 3 hours which didn't really help me a lot. So I started doing intermittent fasting. I think I have been making progress for sure with the help of some natural supplements too. 😊 I do find it hard sometimes I crave foods 😂😂 like cinnamon rolls (it's my guilty pleasure).
Treating the symptoms and not the root cause 😟😟
You have to try keto cinnamon rolls! There is a place called the Keto Bakery that delivers but there are some good recipes online too
I've been struggling with PCOS symptoms since I was 16 but wasn't formally diagnosed until about a year ago...when I was 28. I've had two kids which was a serious struggle in conceiving. Since then my hormones have gotten worse and recently I have put on so much weight I can't bare to look at myself in the mirror. I was 145 all throughout HS and am now at 230 lbs. The highest I have EVER been. Even through pregnancies. I just started intermittent fasting and I think I'm going to try keto light as well. Thank you so much for all this information. It really helps.
Take it one day at a time Kelsey ❤️ Make small changes where you can and don’t strive for perfection. The little things will add up ❤️❤️❤️
Please be sure you include daily exercise too. It's not possible for any human to be metabolically healthy with only good eating habits and poor muscle strength/health
THANK YOU your videos cover a lot of information in such a straightforward way! I have IBD, ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, hormone imbalance, ADD, arthritis...etc...and I've tried Keto before but it was too much - sometimes with ME/CFS keto doesn't work as well as it does for others but combining your tips with the Auto Immune Protocol diet for lowering carbs in a way that still helps reduce insulin is really helpful for me, so thank you!
👏👏
Try Mickel Therapy. And Lifespan Integration Therapy.
I’ve always had issues gaining weight. I think it has been due to my bad diet. When I quit exercising and had a very stressful lifestyle, I started having more hair. I always wanted to find out what it was and recently got diagnosed with PCOS. Thank you for this video! I will start with changing my diet and going to the gym regularly. Hopefully it will help my PCOS get reversed!
This was very good information. Thank you so much.
My pleasure! 🤗
I've been to at least 8 different OB Gyne and they gave me the same pill over and over. It made me menstruate, yes but I also gained weight, had mood swings and my skin folds remained dark.
Fast forward to 2020 when I decided to stop taking the pill and made some lifestyle changes. It did work for me. Until now, my period became regular, and those previously mentioned symptoms were gone. I may have PCOS still but managed it.
Thank you once again for another informative video. I so wish I was informed about all this when I was trying to loose weight when I was trying for a baby. I may have succeeded 🥺
All my doctors ever told me was I was fat because I ate too much 😢 when I was constantly on a diet and reduced my intake of calories so much, I now understand had a reversal affect on me 😢
Following your advice I have reduced my carbs intake along side the 16/8 IF and have lost almost 2 stone 🙏🏻
I am so sorry for your struggle Joanna 😟 But glad you are making some progress now!
Sorry you went thru that.....some Drs are so useless, clueless & tackless
Excellent video ❤Thank you
Wow.. I have had PCOS since I was 16 and I am 38 and have always been told that will always have it. I t makes sense when I stopped eating bread and potatoes and pasta that I finally l lost weight. It makes sense that when I started eating them again I gained so much weight back! This makes a lot of sense and I can’t wait to try it.
All the best on your health journey Trisha! I know a lot of women with PCOS who have reversed it and it is such a shame that most are not told this is possible...
@@HealthCoachKait absolutely! I am so excited to start my keto journey! I have been told my whole adult like that insulin resistance was a side effect of my PCOS and being overweight is just the way it is.
Is Myo-Inositol a good supplement to take? Thank you
Ys!
Have you heard of treating some pcos symptoms with collagen? I started drinking collagen every day about a month ago, more for the skin benefits than anything. Surprisingly though my last period was way lighter than what I'm used to and was much more manageable. (Mine are usually extremely heavy and long)
Also, another tip is taking vitamin d.
Hm I haven't heard of collagen treating PCOS, but I do believe collagen is beneficial for a lot of reasons! It could be you were possibly just low in protein as well.
Courtney when I started taking vitamin D it lengthened my period by one day, which for me was good as I’ve always had short/light periods or would skip months altogether. This was a sign of more estrogen.
After a life time of diagnosed with PCOS I got cured with the help of Dr imenherbal on UA-cam channel and till now I'm free from PCOS . ua-cam.com/channels/1PVLGWeT3a6Cto-kOD9IfQ.html.....
Very interesting! Slight correction to what you are saying at 12:12 --the men did one SET to volitional failure (so as many reps as they could physically do) at 80% of max effort. Still super interesting how little it would take!
Love this. I have PCOS and very disappointed by allopathic solutions
🙏🙏
I'm on board with all of this and have cut my carbs, but i still CRAVE sugar ! Constantly. I'm hoping the longer i go with excluding refinded sugar the cravings will go away.
Also, drinking enough water should be mentioned. So so important!
Thanks for this video! I have PCOS and have found that a high protein breakfast has really helped me!
I have PCOS and all I have been searching the Internet trying to figure out what exactly is it and what I can do to help control it this is by far the best video I have ever seen it was informative I'm going to try it out thank you for sharing
This new month of September is a bless month for me, am so grateful to you DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on UA-cam for curing my PCOS with with your herbal medication God bless you doctor 🥳🌱
This is true. I was told at 18 by a gyno that my eggs weren't developing. Years later I started exercising and eating right and I finally got pregnant. I didn't know I was pregnant and my baby was delivered at 26 weeks. He's 4 he has some health issues but he's growing and learning with his age group.
Thank you for this! I understand more PCOS because of you!This is helpful! I am on my journey reversing my PCOS,
I’m a new subscriber and you explain everything so well! I appreciate all of the studies you site, all really great information, thank you!
I have so much to say, Firstly happy that you made this video. especially the insulin resistance. when the food pyramid was introduces: high carbs, medium amount of protein and low fat. Diabetes and other health complication skyrocketed. Why the insulin. Who profits? EVERYONE..the medical system, supermarkets, everyone. It is time we take our health in our hands and find the truth. By reversing the diet you will be shock how quickly 'Chronic illness' will go a way.
Thank you sooo much for the clear explanation sis. I think now I understand what actually pcos is .
Your video is so encouraging. I have insulin resistance. I needed someone to explain these things to me. I really appreciate you understanding that not all people are ready to jump into the deep end of this pool. You have given me a vision of what I can actually start doing now, as well as things I may want move into later. Subscribed. Am looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks for increasing my knowledge and giving me renewed hope in the possitive changes I can still make. God bless.
I remember years ago I went to a walk-in clinic and told the doctor I don't get my period! Do you know what he said? He said women only need a period to get pregnant!! I was shocked! What school some of these doctors graduate from!?
We expect doctors to guid us in our health, but I don’t think this is what their job is. Lol
They are really drug pushers (candy man), working for the hospital.
Wow. Sad world.
This is what doctors are taught. Also doctors Brain washing women that periods are only for getting pregnant....stating periods are dangerous to your health & women need to use birth control for better health.
@@IvySnowFillyVideos it's even worse because most experiments are done on mainly men and women's reproductive system is rarely studied.
@@zoebaggins90 😢 sad
Yes!!!! I have absolutely no more PCOS!!!!! I am 49. Been 10 years with no PCOS!
Keto diet and fasting has helped reverse it. And I didn’t even do it to reverse it, I just wanted to lose weight :D
You are giving me hope.
Intermittent fasting? Is it?
Yea intermittent fasting, getting the insulin down by cutting carb was more important though I think.
Keto works for me too.
Goes to show that high insulin really is the devil. Happy for you, Yoon.
thx. it helps a lot
Yes i agree most ppl eat snacks because theyre bored not because they need the nutrients. I used to do that instead of listening to my body. There is a myth tho that it speeds up ur metabolism overeating doesnt speed up ur metabolism n many snacks are crap food anyway.
💯💯
This video gives me hope
This is very interesting! Thank you for so much for sharing, I was unaware there were ways to reverse it! Xxx
